Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin.
There are different ways to interpret this verse, but here are some possible explanations based on the web search results:
Haughty eyes and a proud heart are the outward signs of pride, which is an attitude that exalts oneself above God and others. Pride is one of the things that God hates and opposes (Proverbs 6:16-17; James 4:6).
The lamp of the wicked is their outwardly bright prosperity, which they rely on instead of God. They think that their wealth, power, or success are the result of their own efforts and wisdom, and they do not acknowledge God as the source of all good things. Their lamp is sin because it is not guided by God’s truth and will, but by their own selfish desires and ambitions (Proverbs 13:9; Matthew 6:22-23).
The plowing of the wicked is their work, which they do not do to please God but themselves. They do not follow God’s commands and principles, but they do whatever they want, regardless of the consequences. They do not care about justice, righteousness, or charity, but only about their own gain and pleasure. Their plowing is sin because it is not done in God’s strength and for His glory, but in their own strength and for their own glory (Proverbs 13:23; 1 Corinthians 10:31).
